Me: OH GOD I'M SO BAD AT FIGHTING SCENES!

Elsword/Raven: SO IS IT FINALLY TIME!?

Me: Yes...Elsword vs Raven ladies and gents.

Elsword/Raven: *cheers* So who wins?

Me: WHY SHOULD I TELL YOU! *bonks both* THAT'LL SPOIL THE DAMN CHAPTER!

Mario: Is it finally gory now? Do I need a paper bag or something?

Me: Maybe, I can guarantee those four need it. *points to the Elgirls*

Elgirls: D: why?

Me: Just read the chapter and Elsword's psychotic mind.

Chapter 2: Love rival no more

Elsword's POV

Ah this brings me back to my training days back at Ruben, spilling the blood of oh so many classmates in sparring matches. The shrieks of terror and splitting of bodies pouring all over the Black Crow's interior as I redecorated the gray metallic colors into a beautiful dark red is pure art itself. Good thing Sis isn't here to stop me as I fueled my hungry blood lust, which can never be quenched until it drinks that damn black flightless bird Raven whole.

"SPLASH EXPLOSION! SWORD FIRE! LUNAR BLADE!" Thanks to the wondrous runes my lovely Aisha taught me, I unleashed flames onto the ship using my now flaming sword to leave a trail straight towards the captain's room. Time to finish this Raven.

"W-What the hell's going on here!?" I kicked down the captain's door to find Raven shocked and surprised at my blazing entrance leaving a trail of sliced up crow mercenaries littered across the corridors. His face grew angrier and more stern, it's finally time I smudge off that overused expression!

"I knew I shouldn't trust you Elsword." He unsheathed his blade. "Aisha, Rena, all the others. Whatever the hell's wrong with you, I can't let you live to harm them."

"Aisha this, Aisha that. I'm sick of you snatching all of her attention!" I readied my grip with two hands, the blood of the mercenaries on my blade freshly dripping to the floor. My voice temporarily shrieked an octave higher than usual. "Only I can protect Aisha so go to hell you bastard!"

"So its about Aisha." He summoned a Nasod Core and used an awakening. "I admire your boundless courage to protect her but I cannot stand such a destructive path." He pointed his blade right at my face, cocky son of a bitch. "A path like this only results in harm against yourself and the one you love."

This pissed me off. "NO! I'M TREADING ON A RIGHTEOUS PATH TO GET RID OF MANIPULATIVE BASTARDS LIKE YOU." I exploded. "YOU, RENA, AND ALL THE OTHERS! YOU ALL ARE DAMN LUCKY TO TRAVEL WITH US BECAUSE AISHA WAS THERE! NOW WITH HER SAFE I MUST ACCEPT THIS NOBLE QUEST OF SEND ALL OF THE OBSTACLES TO OUR LOVE STRAIGHT TO HELL!" I summoned Destructive Aura and used an awakening to match this bastard's own.

"NOW DIE DAMN YOU! SWORD ENCHANT!" I enchanted my sword to glow a mystical aura, enabling it to deal magical damage and dashed straight to Raven in the confined room.

What the? He can use that thin stick he calls a blade to hold us in a power struggle? No matter, I kicked his ugly mug backwards and slashed at his back...

Wait oh crap. He shadow stepped right out of my reach and ran towards the confused me.

"FINISHING SLASH!" His drove his sword through me and repeatedly slashed me in the process. Damn him and his older and more experienced swordsmanship. "FLYING IMPACT! WOLF FANG! HYPERSONIC STAB!"

I'm...gonna...lose blood this way. Why is he...so strong? I have someone...to protect too! This raced through my mind as he continued to hack and slash me, pinning me down after a Power Assault. I use my sword to slash at his side.

"No way you bastard!" Damn Raven kicked my sword all the way across the room. "Now..." He pointed his blade at my throat, pinning me down and using those cold eyes on my angered face. "...How should I explain this to the others."

"Just kill me then, I'm a failure of a guard to Aisha anyway." Maybe faking remorse can give me an advantage.

"No I won't kill you. Despite what you just did, you're still a hero in Elrios along with the rest of us. Keeping you in isolation might help you clear your mind." Big mistake you rotten bird, you just let go of me thinking that I can't do anything without my sword.

"FIRE FIST!" I summoned fire onto my free right hand punching it at the bastard's chest, kicking him away to leave a little explosion.

"SPLASH EXPLOSION! WIND BLADE! RISING SLASH!" Too bad Raven, your agonizing screams are worthless with the many sword-less skills I can do with my runes. I splashed a rune at his body, summoned a blade to knock him down, and grew four swords to send him straight towards the air in that order.

Running quickly, I grabbed my sword and met him in the air smirking. "You might've won you know. If only you didn't sidetrack and stuck to a moral code." I brought my sword down on him, crashing us both onto the floor.

I jumped up in the air again, this time fusing my sword with my flames for a finisher. "I would say you'd finally reunite with Seris but I'm taking you to Hell instead. Sayonara, Raven."

"SWORD FIRE!" I crashed my burning blade onto his abdomen, burning him and sending him to the air after a fiery explosion. Searing third-degree burns and a mountain of blood coming from the sword strike spilled towards the ground where I stood, showering me in a blood bath. Time for one more thing.

"STORM BLADE!" I summoned a series of rotating blades that caught the nearly dead bastard and swung him through the air, retracting it and sending him back onto the ground where he belongs.

"D...Da...Dammit. I...ory...Se..." I think he had enough, decapitating the poor son of a bitch. Thankfully this part of his body remained relatively the same compared to the rest, burning as well as the ship.

I smeared myself in blood while wiping it from my eyes and placed his head right into my bag. HE'S GONE, HE'S GONE! JUST A FEW BARRIERS REMAIN BEFORE THE LOVELY AISHA AND I CAN FINALLY BE TOGETHER!

I smashed through the windows of the room and looked around the now burning ship. Crow mercenaries everywhere slowly tortured to the consuming flames and having each and every ounce of blood boil and painfully leave their cold carcass of a body. It's so delightful. Thankfully there was a nearby island around the ship's vicinity, confirming it as Altera Island. I strapped on my backpack and jumped out of the ship, splashing into the shorelines of the aforementioned island below.

After getting out of the ocean I noticed the water washed off all the blood on my body and my sword, thankfully leaving my backpack and the prize intact.

Farewell Raven you son of a bitch, FOREVER!

I couldn't control myself after realizing the fact, laughing maniacally all the way towards the village.

Mario: What's up with you ending chapters with a bolded one-liner and then another regular sentence below it?

Me: ...I WANTED SOME SUSPENSE OKAY D:

Elgirls: *barfs in paper bag*

Me: Told ya you four needed it.

Aisha: BLOOD BATHS AND BURNING CORPSES!? IS THIS MORTAL KOMBAT OR SOMETHING, FIRE!? I NEVER WANT TO FACE A RS AGAIN!

Elsword: Damn right you guys. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF RUNE SLAYERS!

Me: Mhm, now off to create my own!

Mario: ...what?

Me: Oh writing this chapter made me want a RS now :D.

Mario: *bonks Fire* Keep your rash conclusions to yourself.

Me: *massages head* Fine then. Time to watch some more Mortal Kombat vids and gory anime like Higurashi for more inspiration for future chapters :D!

Everyone else but Mario: O.O *prepares more paper bags*

Mario: Damn pussies.

*I changed the cover image to make it seem less...provoking I should say xD. If you guys don't like it, send me a PM and I'll change it back if it suits the story better*
